Right! A little hope goes a long way.
[And then he works on the next layer of the sand castle. It's getting up there!]
Whew! It's pretty hard work, but pretty rewarding too, right?

Um, true! And it's also kinda fun. Plus it'll look sooo cool when it's done!
...Okay, so now we'll try to put some drier sand on, alright? Too much wetness can make the whole thing fall apart!

I see. You need enough wet sand so that it will all stick together, but not so much that the structure gets too soggy. That seems logical.
[ But so she doesn't ignore his enthusiasm entirely: ]
I am looking forward to seeing how this will turn out in the end.

You got it! [He acknowledges with a snap of a finger.] You need just the right balance to complete this tall order.
...And there's other tricks for making walls, moats and towers and all... but I guess we could skip over those for now. It'll take enough effort just to make this baby tall enough! I guess it doesn't have to look too pretty as long as it gets the job done.

Exactly! If the weather stays nice, once this bingo nonsense settles down then I'll show you how it's really done!
[He starts helping to work on another layer. Slowly but surely, it's making its way towards their heights!]
And for now, we'll try to reach the height of our success.

And for now, we'll try to reach the height of our success.
[With that, they continue building up the sand castle, with Kurt giving more tips here and there, until finally it managed to manages to surpass both of their heights.
Kurt immediately begins cheering.]
Alright!! We totally rocked it. We are the masters of the sand, man!
[With that, he eagerly holds out his hand for a high five!]

[It's worth the wait! Kurt continues cheering and goes into a dorky victory dance.]
Hey, it was a team effort! This would have taken all day without your help... So, thanks! Not a bad way to get to meet someone, Kaguya!

[ That's true... teamwork certainly did save them both a fair amount of time, in the end. She's in a good enough mood about finishing this task that she doesn't even pay his strange dancing any mind. ]
You're welcome, then. And thank you for all your help as well, Kurt.

No problemo! I'm glad to show you the way.
[As his dancing dies down, he wipes some sweat from his forehead.]
Now that that's over with... I think I'm gonna go for a dip! I really worked up a sweat.

Really? Thanks for the heads up... I hope it's not like a shark or something!
Huh. [He nods as he takes that in.]
I'll be careful, promise. Thanks for the heads up! It was good to meet you, Kaguya! [he waves to her as he starts to depart.]

[Continued from here!]
because it seemed like a good idea at the time?
look last month a bunch of us got whisked away on an unbelievable journey
my group ended up in a castle in the sky
me and this other kid found a stable full of unicorns
and they seemed to want to be ridden!
so, we did that.

How long do I have to be a member of this thing before I can go to some weird fantasy place and ride a unicorn.
If I'm going to have some weird mental break and just accept all this weir stuff, I might as well get a unicorn ride out of it.

that's not a bad attitude! lol
but um it's been about half a year for me so
who knows, it may be a while
but this stuff's so unpredictable that it may as well be tomorrow
